2010
-Calls Dez Bryant's mom a prostitute instead of just drafting him. Dez Bryant already an elite WR1 and RS.
-Trades down and drafts injury prone DE Jared Odrick (had history of leg problems) who proves to be....IR'd.
-Uses acquired 2nd round pick on OLB Koa Misi who seems just average thus far.
-Other picks contributing include OG John Jerry and FS Rashad Jones.
-Major FA signing ILB Karlos Dansby (credit goes more to ownership for spending what it took to sign him).
-Major trade for WR Brandon Marshall (cost was 2 second round picks).

Overall, not sure positives outweigh passing on Matty Ice and Dez Bryant while still leaving us with holes on the OL, STs and defense (not to mention no talent at RB for the future).

Sparano

Overall, likable guy but can't accept STs disasterous play for the last 3 years, horrible offensive play calling (hate play action on 3rd and longs) and worst of all....our OL is still a mess after his 3 year tenure and he's an OL guy.

we were heading the right direction until they gutted the interior o-line thereby ruining our power running game and turning us into a pass first team with dan henning as our coordinator...last night i was thinking maybe ireland should stay but now i'm leaning towards him going as well, he makes some really nice finds (wake, clemons, bess) but also whiffs too many times in big spots i feel...also the FA signing track record of this FO has been horrendous outside of the dansby signing, ross please clean house

Objectively & thoughtfully ... as there are ALOT worse in the NFL ... been thinking about this since Tuna abandoned ship.

Tuna C ... we've come along way, but aren't even at the halfway to our destination .... trip not as planned or advertised
Sparano B- ... he doesn't have the greatest groceries to cook with, OR a Chef/QB
Ireland C ... done a solid job & many have done worse ... but the NFL will NOT be beating a path to his door

I do NOT project the future as a Nostra-Dumbaz ... but have an Important observation on Human Behavior to watch for ....I expect Ireland & Sparano to do some surprising stuff now that Tuna is gone. I'll be watching!!!

Look at all the Jr. politicians or Jr. executives who followed great leaders ... they say they will continue the SAME game plan ... ONCE THEY TOOK POWER, their true personalities & strategies came out, sometimes appearing to swerve 180 degrees!!! i.e. Reagan campaigned to cut taxes & had a huge tax/military buildup ... WalMart's Glass filled the store with chinese crap (Sam was a made in US patriot)

you can not actually think we were better off 3 years ago.... if so you are a moron

No we're better than 3 years ago. Cam Cameron was a joke of a HC and Mueller was an all-bust hall of fame GM.

Sparano is likable as a HC but there's no excuse for the OL, STs and the offensive play calling. Tuna/Ireland have at least gotten us a franchise LT, and franchise CB and some other good starters (Langford in particular) but I don't give them much credit for Marshall and Dansby b/c that's more about ownership being willing to spend the $.

And Tuna/Ireland are to blame for missing out on Matty Ice and Dez Bryant and for the multitude of big money FA busts (Smiley, Wilford, Grove, Green) and giving away Samson Satele for almost nothing.

Bottom line is the NFL is still about superstars at the QB position (see Brees, Manning, Brady, Big Ben winning SBs) and we're still searching after 3 years of this regime.
